Science Proves that Music Can Help Battle Insomnia

Jan 19, 2018

Many of us have known that music can help us in many ways, such as healing a broken heart, providing motivation, creating new friendships, and much more. Recently, it's been discovered that music can also help benefit your sleep, especially those suffering from insomnia. It has always been said that music can alter sleep patterns instead of promoting it, but a few studies have proven otherwise.

In a 2003 study, researchers recruited 20 university students to study their sleeping patterns while they were listening to music. These students were allowed to pick the music of their choice and were tested in a sleep lab while being monitored by a polysomnograph. The results of this study were that those who listened to music fell asleep much faster than those who didn't. According to another study in 2008, 94 insomniac students who listened to classical music before falling asleep went to sleep much faster than those who didn't.

If you are having trouble sleeping, then this can be the solution for you. Music can now help you to relieve your stress and overcome your inability to sleep. You can choose any kind of music that you desire, for the effects will always be the same. Music can obviously help in many ways than you can imagine, especially when it comes to your health.
